As fall and back to school time approaches, I am trying to squeeze in some last minuteย summer themed projects to keep the summer going in my crafty world.ย I thought I would make up some cute watermelon wedge and slice cards that I could send to folks as surprise notes to spread and extend the summertime fun.
I made all of these with card stock from my stash in red, dark green, light green, white, and black. I used the Diemond Dies Die-Normous Stack Ems Circle Nesting Die Set–using the largest, 4th largest, 5th largest and 6th largest circle dies from the 20 piece set. I also used the small raindrops from the Diemond Dies Umbrella and Raindrops Die Set to make little watermelon seeds. ย Using the seeds spread out about an inch apart in an arch that followed the shape of the watermelon addedย a nice rhythmic repetition.
I love puns, so I couldn’t help printing out “Thanks a melon!” and “You’re Sweet” on some left over pale green card stock and adding those sentiments to the cards.

These look amazing! Such a clever card! The seeds look perfect! Love your creativity! And it’s so thoughtful to be sending the cards to the people who cut the tree – they definitely will not be expecting this! They probably never get cards for their work – you are awesome!
